Summary

Edison Junior High School is a public middle school located in Pekin, Illinois, serving grades 7-8 with a student population of 311. While the school has consistently been ranked in the middle range of Illinois middle schools, it faces several key challenges that parents should be aware of.

One significant concern is the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 29.7% in recent years, which are significantly higher than the state and district averages. This high absenteeism may be contributing to the school's academic performance, as its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (34.6% to 51.9%) and Mathematics (19.3% to 21.4%) are below the state and district averages. However, the school's 8th-grade science proficiency rates (40.7% to 55.7%) are closer to the state and district averages.

When comparing Edison Junior High School to nearby schools, such as Norwood Elementary and Tremont Middle School, both of which significantly outperform Edison on academic measures, it becomes clear that the school faces challenges that may require a comprehensive improvement strategy. Additionally, the other middle schools within the Pekin PSD 108 district also perform below state averages, indicating a broader district-level concern.
